NIGHT DIVING WITH THE DATAMAX PRO
The DataMax Pro uses a high contrast liquid crystal display with large
numerals for easy readability in low light conditions. However, the display is
not internally illuminated for night diving because of the excessive power
consumption that would be required. This means that on night dives, in
caves, or any other low light situation you must use your dive light to illumi-
nate the display. If your dive light were to fail, you might be unable to read
information about your dive on the DataMax Pro. Oceanic recommends that
you carry a chemical lightstick (Fig. 31) on all low light dives or a backup dive
light, in case of primary light failure.
SHARING THE DATAMAX PRO
WARNING: Never participate in sharing or swapping of a dive
computer. Doing so may result in injury or death.
The DataMax Pro provides information based upon a diver’s personal
dive profile and breathing rate and therefore must not be “shared” between
divers. You should never, under any circumstances, swap your computer
with another unit between dives, or share your computer with another diver
underwater. It is impossible for two divers to stay precisely together under-
water, and your computer's dive profile tracking of previous dives will be
pertinent to you only. Certainly, Air Time Remaining would not pertain to
the second diver at all. Since only the lesser of AIR or NO DEC Dive Time
